About Us

Founded in 1952, Lakewood Presbyterian Church is now in its seventh decade of serving the Jacksonville community. We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and a member of the Presbytery of St. Augustine, which is composed of churches in 14 Northeast Florida counties. The mission of Lakewood Presbyterian Church is to worship the living God as revealed in Jesus Christ, teach the Scriptures, encourage Christian spiritual development, build a fellowship of love and trust, and send forth disciples to serve in the community and the world.

News & Events

Presbyterians are confessional, meaning we have officially adopted statements that explain our understanding of the meaning and implications of the one basic confession that Jesus is Lord. The Confession in 1967 is a 20th century confession written and adopted against the backdrop of civil rights injustices against people of color and a movement to address those issues. The following is an excerpt from the Confession of 1967 and a statement about what we believe. WE BELIEVE...God has created the peoples of the earth to be one universal family. In God’s reconciling love, God overcomes the barriers between brothers and sisters and breaks down every form of discrimination based on racial or ethnic difference, real or imaginary. The church is called to bring all men and women to receive and uphold one another as persons in all relationships of life: in employment, housing, education, leisure, marriage, family, church, and the exercise of political rights. Therefore, the church labors for the abolition of all racial discrimination and ministers to those injured by it. Congregations, individuals, or groups of Christians who exclude, dominate, or patronize their fellow people, however subtly, resist the Spirit of God and bring contempt on the faith which they profess.
